It's that time of year again! Last year I wrote a post about some fun music summer camps. I was very pleased in the fall to hear that several students participated in some of these camps! (The "Frozen" camp from last summer was particularly popular).If you're looking for something different this summer, consider enrolling in one of these camps! Many of these programs offer year round activities as well.
Check it out!!!

St. Louis Children's Choir is a group I had the honor and pleasure of being a part of when I was in High School. They follow a belief I feel very strongly in: every child can sing. They believe "children learn more about themselves (and others) through live music making." The choir is currently in it's 37th season. They have been recognized nationally for top quality vocal instruction accepting singers ages 6-18. The Children's Choir has performed with the St. Louis Symphony, The Ambassadors of Harmony, the Bach Society of Saint Louis, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, and choruses from the University of Missouri-St. Louis and Webster University. The choirs have received national and international recognition travelling on musical tours to Japan, Canada, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Russia. While the St. Louis Children's Choir accepts singers through a short audition, auditions are not necessary for the summer camp.Summer Camp Information:
